I don't think having an article written about you that says "you all are wrong for screwing this person up" is going to ruin a life. I don't think that the person is correct that "anything that puts me in the spotlight is negative". And I do think that seeing someone suddenly scared to appear in any news piece is a great example of the damage mob-justice causes.
I don't either. But she thinks so, and I think it's contemptible to go against someone's wishes, especially with regard to their own protection, like that.I don't think that the person is correct that "anything that puts me in the spotlight is negative".
I find it perhaps most fascinating when circledots are split evenly(ish) between two opinions. Usually seems to indicate when a topic may not have a correct answer. P.S. I agree with you, personally, but I think it's great when the community's divided.
